David Turnbull has described Cardiff City as a “huge club” after leaving Celtic to join the Bluebirds in a deadline day deal worth around £2m. Cardiff confirmed the arrival of the Scottish international midfielder on a permanent deal from for an undisclosed fee, penning a contract until June 2027.
Erol Bulut insists new loan signing Famara Diédhiou can rediscover his goalscoring touch with Cardiff City in the Championship. The Bluebirds manager has made Diedhiou his second recruit of the January transfer window, even though the Senegal striker has only scored one goal in the past year for his Spanish club, Granada.
Former Cardiff City captain Jason Perry has described his old club as a “circus” as ringmaster Erol Bulut prepares to exit the big tent. Bulut appears to have reached the end of the road following his claim that lack of activity in the transfer market may lead him to walk away. In a BBC radio interview following Cardiff’s 3-1 defeat at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, Bulut voiced his frustration with the club’s hierarchy, the inertia within it, and the fact he has not been able to make the changes he wanted to.
Cardiff City have expressed their determination to “seek justice” and pursue their negligence claim against Nantes as the fifth anniversary of Emiliano Sala’s death approaches. Sala died on January 21, 2019 when the light aircraft he was travelling in from France crashed into the English Channel, two days after Cardiff had announced the signing of the 28-year-old Argentinian forward from Nantes.
Aaron Ramsey is on the mend and has taken his first steps back into football after picking up a knee injury in training after the south Wales derby win against Swansea City way back in September. Having already suffered one set-back on his road to recovery, which has meant he has so far missed four months of football and 23 games in all competitions for Cardiff City, the Wales skipper is now hopeful of returning in time for the Euro Championship play-off game against Finland in March.
Dan James is part of a trio of Wales and Leeds United players he believes can achieve a Euro 2024 finals and Premier League double this season. James, Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon were key figures in an utterly dominant display at Cardiff City where the 3-0 victory margin for the visitors could easily have been doubled.
Erol Bulut admitted he had to his hold his true feelings in check after Cardiff City fell to a humbling, utterly one-sided defeat to Leeds United. The Bluebirds lost 3-0, but the scoreline could easily have been twice as damaging and Bulut’s recent record at home now shows just four points gathered from seven matches. What appeared to trouble Bulut – who is out of contract at the end of the season – was not so much the gulf in class but his players’ lack of desire to narrow that gap through hard work and determination.
Swansea City aim to restore calm this weekend after a recent period of managerial upheaval before bringing in Luke Williams from Notts County. Williams has guided the Swans safely into the fourth round of the FA Cup in his only match in charge so far, but on Saturday he will get an opportunity to make his mark in the Championship with a visit to Birmingham City.
Erol Bulut has admitted he is in a queue to buy Kieffer Moore from Bournemouth – but he doesn’t know who’s ahead of him, or when he’ll get served. A frustrated Bulut still hasn’t landed Moore in the January transfer window and has now learned Calum O’Dowda will be out for another six weeks.
Gemma Grainger has insisted the offer to quit as Wales manager in order to take charge of Norway was just too good to turn down. Grainger has left her role with Wales with immediate effect to become head coach of the Norwegians.
New Swansea City head coach Luke Williams believes he has something to build on at his new club following their FA Cup victory over Morecambe. Second-half goals from Charlie Patino and Jerry Yates gave Williams a 2-0 third round victory in his first game as the Swans head coach.
CARDIFF City will run a pre-match fitness test ahead of their FA Cup third round – on manager Erol Bulut. The Bluebirds boss has an unspecified virus and may be absent when his team start their Cup campaign away at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
